Speaking for CACOL, its executive chairman, Mr Debo Adeniran, said: “This an issue that has to be nipped in the bud with immediate alacrity because of grievous consequence a coup portends for a democratic Nigeria.

“The suspected military officers must be immediately identified, investigated and punished according to extant laws if found culpable to protect the subsisting democratic and the rule of law.

“Nigeria cannot afford to repeat history by tolerating military rule again, even for a second!

“Military rule belongs the past, it is dead and buried.

“Democracy didn’t just come on a platter of gold, it was fought for by some courageous

Nigerians in a struggle where plenty were killed, incarcerated unjustly, ‘letter-bombed, tortured psychologically and physically.

“Nigerians must be alert and vigilant so that the desperate power-hungry political class does not take country back to the dark days of autocratic rule where dehumanization will be the mode of governing.”

Adeniran warned the military to remember that it derives its authority from civil rule and that military rule is no longer fashionable.
